Local Medical Issues

In the Pacific Northwest, there are two major health issues concerning our pets.

The first health issue is internal and external parasites. Many intestinal parasites are spread through fecal/oral contamination, and can cause a variety of health concerns like diarrhea or anemia. Through routine fecal testing we have found that 1 in 5, or 20%, of seemingly healthy pets have intestinal parasites.

The most common parasite we've seen is Giardia, a zoonotic (able to be passed to humans) parasite spread through water sources and oral/fecal contamination. With so many of our family pets spending time at local lakes, this can be a big problem. The only way to know for sure that your pet is parasite free is to bring us a fecal sample to be analyzed at our laboratory.

The second health issue specially affects dogs and humans. Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease found in wildlife and livestock that can cause flu-like symptoms as well as kidney or liver disease. This contagious disease is passed via the infected animals urine into water sources, where it can survive for long periods of time. Thankfully, a vaccine is available that helps to protect dogs from this potentially fatal disease.

Last but most common, many pets can be infested with fleas that can cause them to itch, develop skin infections, or become anemic. We recommend pets be on a parasite and flea preventive to keep pests away from you, your family, and your pet.

Our veterinarians are here to help educate pet owners. We will work with you to develop personalized disease prevention protocol, customized and catered to each individual pet.
